Travel Guide 2014: The 101 best hotels in the world

Fregate Island Private

Alone. All alone. Just the two of you. Actually, three of you;
there's Sumith too - the butler who has just unpacked your cases.
And is bringing bacon and eggs to your villa. Because you can have
barbecued catch of the day, you can have rum punch, you can have
whatever the hell you want. And you want bacon and eggs. But back
to being alone - because, thankfully, Sumith will only come when
you call him, and you'll never, ever see another guest. Just 2,000
giant tortoises (the biggest population outside the Galapagos), and
fruit bats the size of badgers, and more than a hundred species of
tropical birds, and giant millipedes (surprisingly crunchy
underfoot), and Fregate beetles, which are famous and have their
own enclosure at London Zoo. Fregate, now under the watchful eye of
hotel supremos the Oetker Collection, is properly wild and
intensely private. Just draw the gate across your path and run
stark naked. There's nothing quite like being where the wild things
are.
